Rodney Dangerfield

RODNEY DANGERFIELD
 
 
Rodney Dangerfield  (born Jacob Cohen, November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, producer and screenwriter known for the catchphrase “I don’t get no respect!” and his monologues on that theme.  He is also remembered for his 1980s film roles, especially in Easy Money, Caddyshack, and Back to School.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Only Dennis Blair has remained in show business apparently.  Blair is a stand-up comedian who was mentored by Rodney Dangerfield and was a featured actor in two of his HBO specials; he also appears in Dangerfield’s 1983 film, Easy Money.  Blair opened for George Carlin for 18 years and wrote a book about these experiences called Me First.  He has a website, www.dennisblair.com as well as a short Wikipedia article; the Holy Ghost Reception Committee #9 is mentioned in passing on the website.
